There are a few very nice galleries that have their collections online. The only problem is they aren't organized by date, but by artist. Much as I'd like to look at every piece in their collections, I don't have that kind of time!

So, who's painting, drawing, etching, sculpting etc during the GAoP. Not just sailor related stuff but everything.

So far I know of Laroon, Watteau, & Hogarth towards the end. Who else?

This is an interesting era in art, because it's the transition from Baroque to Rococo. Early on one can take a page from Dutch Masters (Jan Steen has always been a favorite of mine) for inspiration, while in closing years, as you suggest, one can look to Hogarth.

A few more worthies... Willem Van Mieris, Canalleto...

If you like big hats, Nicolas de Largillière has one for you...

Another interesting find in the bowels of the forum. I believe I saw a question about period art...

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
